I'm a UI Engineer currently working with React, TypeScript, and Redux.

For the past 9 years, I've been building User Interfaces for web products, reaching thousands of end users in production environments, working with data visualization, delivering the best performance, and putting the best attention to detail on the market when taking designs from mockups and renders to code.
